There is a forward entry in DNS property page pointing to the external DNS
server
The External DNS Server has an Alias entry in it to for 2  Domain Names

Companyname.com points to a 192.168 entry (original)
Companyname.com works now.

guardian.company.com point to a Nic card 167.206 entry (New)
nat translation in linuix (IP Maskerade points to The mail server is our
Companyname.local)

There is an entry in DNS for a host file called Guardian
The MX-RECORD points to the mail server.local with the (host or domain
section  READING GUARDIAN).
Mail server priority is 10 

Note:
We have always used the Companyname.com in IMAP.

Exchange:
Able to receive mail but not send.
Sending does not even make it out of the starting gate.
THERE IS A RECIPIENRT Policy point to the guardian.companyname.com

WE ARE ABLE TO JUST RECEIVE E-MAILS



AT A COMPLETE BLANK STARTING THE R&D FROM THE SMTP SENDING POINT.


QUESTION?

If the guardian.companyname.com was not listed with the ISP would a e-mail
make it out of the starting gate.
Is there a setting in exchange or 2000 server that will not allow communication 
from exchange to the internet

guardian.Companyname.com is an alias name for the company name.com nic-card 
that is pointing to the internet.

CONFUSED PLEASE HELP!!
